A totally original and extremely modern environmentally friendly and generally save-the-worldy brand new library service!

We aim to provide as wide a range of books as can be fit into a suitcase, but if there is anything you are particularly interested in, please let us know so we can be on the look out.

All of our lovely books are either donations to the cause, recycled from other library weedings or bought in charity shops; we aim to be as liberal and save-the-worldy as possible!

We do not charge fines, and you are welcome to keep the books for as long as it takes to read them, however books are lent on the understanding that if you have enjoyed something, you would not want to stop other people from reading it!

BOOKELF works in libraries and a massive book-lover, so is happy to talk to you about recommendations, or setting up your own reading groups.

The Travelling Suitcase Library is a completely free service; however cups of tea are always welcome. Any donations to the cause are more than welcome, we love books and believe you can never have too many.

To add yourself to the Travelling Suitcase Library mailing list, or for any questions, please email BOOKELF at…

• Meet other lovers of good old fashioned trash in a non-judgemental, social space!

*“But Jess, surely by using this phrase you are further perpetrating the myth that there is a divide between what it literary and what is read for pleasure, further othering reading as an acceptable social activity, playing into the hands of the snobbish elite that want to create a “literarti” that only serves the few”.Yeah, probably. Come to the book swap.
